I have no idea how to do what they are asking me. Any help greatly accepted. :/ I think I'm on the right track somewhat?
// JSONObject 'jsonData' was loaded from data.json
String name = jsonData.getString("name");
String publisher = jsonData.getString("publisher");
String language = jsonData.getString("language");
JSONArray jsonBooks = jsonData.getJSONArray("books");
for (int i = 0; i > 2; i++) {
jsonBooks.getJSONObject(i);
Log.i("CodeChallenge", jsonBooks.name ", " jsonBooks.getString("pages"));
}
{
"name":"Treehouse Book Series",
"publisher":"Wiley",
"language":"English",
"books":[
{
"title":"HTML5 Foundations",
"author":"Matt West",
"pages":384
},
{
"title":"CSS3 Foundations",
"author":"Ian Lunn",
"pages":352
}
]
}

//and use the newly created JSONObject to log the details
// use the array as the limiting factor in your for loop
for(int i = 0; i < jsonBooks.length(); i++;){
// you tried ---- jsonBooks.getJSONObject(i);
// Try
JSONObject currentObject = jsonBooks.getJSONObject(i)
// then when you log reference currentObject.getString("title") && currentObject.getString("pages")
// instead of jasonBooks
// Your code --- Log.i("CodeChallenge", jsonBooks.name ", " jsonBooks.getString("pages"));
}

10,020 PointsThank you Micah! Sorry my question was so general. Your code worked spot on, but I just had to replace the && with a +, and it worked just fine.
